With the release of Gravity Forms 1.9 it’s now possible to display forms anywhere in WordPress admin. Here’s an example of how to add a Gravity Form to the dashboard like this:

July 7, 2015 at 10:10 pmThe dudes over at GF told me about this… does it go in one’s function file? I tried adding it to a template for a different plugin and it didn’t work. (FYI, I’m using it on a multisite installation, so not sure if the functions file approach would work.)
Steven Henty says
July 7, 2015 at 10:29 pmYes, it works fine on multisite. Remember forms are site-specific so if you add it to your functions.php file you may want to check the current site first. Something like this: $current_site = get_current_site();
if ( $current_site->domain == ‘mysite.com’ ) {
add_action( ‘wp_dashboard_setup’, ‘sh_dashboard_setup’ );
}

July 7, 2015 at 10:40 pmOh right, DUH. I’m trying to load in a form from the main site into a sub-site. Not gunna work. So thinking I’ll try to load in via an iframe or some such. Thanks for clarifying this!

July 7, 2015 at 10:49 pmYou might be able to use switch_to_blog($site_id) and restore_current_blog(). https://codex.wordpress.org/WPMU_Functions/switch_to_blog

July 7, 2015 at 10:58 pmStill trying to drop into a theme for a plugin and its not working. I know you said it goes in the functions file, but I need it to appear only within that plugin theme template, not the actual dashboard, so maybe this isn’t the approach for me? Sorry, bit ig’nant when it comes to these things… 🙁
Steven Henty says
July 7, 2015 at 11:03 pmThat’s right this is just for displaying the form in the admin dashboard.

July 14, 2015 at 10:54 amHi Steven, congratulations for your outstanding blog.
How do we develop a form like the one you include in this post?
That is, a “summary” form (not a submission one) containing the % of choice per field options (and counts of them) of a form.
Thanks.
OSCAR
